    "We do not accept that there is any connection between contemporary issues of 21st Century Manchester and a work of science fiction in which a fictitious 1950s Britain is under attack by aliens.

If we have done so we sincerely apologize."Escapist Magazine: Sony Apologizes to Church of England (June 19, 2007)
